Mission Statement


Taking kids in new directions by nurturing the mind, body and spirit of the children living in East Dayton. This is done by sharing the love of Christ with them, teaching them to love one another, providing nutritious meals, mentoring, guidance and opportunity. We will attempt to do this by instilling in them values and goals that will map a new direction for them to follow and by setting an example of how to live a Christian life by being there when they need someone to talk to and care for them with an open heart and mind.

Vision Statement


To impact the life's of children in Montgomery County. Sharing the love of Christ with them and teaching them to love one another.

KIND Rap

Kids in new directions it’s an infection
Spreading God’s word in every direction
Take a look, you’ll see, a vision of a life
Like you aint never dreamed

Kids in new directions it's an infection
Spreading God's word in every direction
About he, not me
About life, about love and prosperity

Kids in new directions it's an infection
Spreading God's word in every direction
The cost, the cross
Jesus died, our souls were lost

Kids in new directions it's an infection
Spreading God's word in every direction

Stop, rewind, let me break it down to you one more time
Kids in new directions it's an infection
Spreading God's word

In every direction!!!!
